RE: [SilverStreak] towing

Vincent,

Do yourself a favor, and get an Equal-iz-er Brand trailer hitch. It's an
anti-sway bar/load leveler all in one unit.  For the money, it's the best
one out there. There are a couple of other hitches that are better
(Pull-Right, and Hensley Arrow), but they're much more expensive.  I could
give you a full page of personal experiences of why this hitch is better
than chains and a swaybar (which we USED to use!).  Suffice it to say that I
can think of one or two situations where, if I had been using a chain and
swaybar setup, I'm sure I wouldn't be here writing this right now. If you're
concerned about sway, this hitch will virtually eliminate sway.  I've towed
my 34' Continental Supreme in 50+ mph cross winds, and the trailer never
swayed one bit. Before we started using this hitch, my trailer OWNED me on
the road.  Now, the experience is very pleasant, actually.  I usually don't
even know my trailer is back there.  You can check 'em out at
equalizerhitch.com

Subject: [SilverStreak] towing

I will be towing my 72 continental 200 miles w/a f150.  It will tow, but
there is alot of trailer swing.  That is why I need to get some towbars, or
stablelizers to stop the trailer-swing.  I was thinking I might use a chain
on each side, and thought this might work.  Do any of you have any advise to
me as to where I might find the right kind of swaybar? or do you think my
chain idea might work.
  Thanks, in advance for any and all comments, and advise.
  Vincent
